Birth of a Nation, Examined

For John, BLUF:  Those were different times.  Ours are better times.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

My Father used to say that he hadn't seen a movie since Birth of a Nation.  Given his birth date, I am doubtful he saw it as a first run movie.  As this blog post points out "'The Birth Of A Nation' Turns One Hundred Years Old This Year".  And at the link is an interesting assessment of the film, which "revolutionized the art of making movies".
